  Sep 28, 20261 hour

  Rae and Nai get real about the algorithm pushing unqualified dating coaches, and why beauty is a practice.

Next, they break down Nikole Hannah-Jones' New York Times Magazine essay, "In Fighting for Every Black Child, Did I Betray My Own?", on sending her daughter to under-resourced Brooklyn public schools, and ask how much a parent's values should shape a child's education. Then it's back to Hillman with a spoiler-free review and a full spoiler breakdown of Netflix's A Different World, from Deborah and Shaquille to Rashida, Hazel, Kojo, and Amir.

  Cuffed 2… Jasmine Crockett + Chris Brown, Bloodhound Q50’s Murder & Kandi + Todd’s Divorce Drama

  Sep 21, 202659 min

  Joseline Hernandez sat down with Shannon Sharpe and got real about her addiction, sobriety, and why she’s thanking Faith Evans for taking Stevie J off her hands. Jasmine Crockett honored Chris Brown during his tour stop in Texas, sparking backlash and a debate about whether his talent and impact should outweigh his history. Bloodhound Q50’s murder leads Rae and Nai into a much heavier conversation about Chicago drill culture, protecting Black boys, and who’s responsible for stepping up for young Black men. Then Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker’s divorce gets even messier when Todd links up with the ex-men of RHOA and starts telling details from their marriage. Rae and Nai kick it off getting real about locking in before 30, from debt, retirement and buying a home to mobility, stamina and keeping their knees intact. Then they come in HOT: can rejection really be protection, can someone like Chris Brown ever be redeemed, what are we doing to save our Black boys, and when does telling your side of a divorce become tacky? They close it out Cuffed 2 Nia Long getting her Hollywood Walk of Fame star, Mary Cosby’s return to RHOSLC, and Howard women making amazing strides in entrepreneurship and entertainment. 00:00 — Let’s Get Real, Sis: Finances, Debt & Getting Serious About 30 03:13 — Let’s Get Real, Sis: Health, Mobility & Getting Our Knees Back 06:03 — Coming In Hot: Joseline Hernandez, Addiction, Faith Evans & Stevie J 20:02 — Coming In Hot: Jasmine Crockett + Chris Brown’s Controversial Honor 33:07 — Coming In Hot: Bloodhound Q50 & Protecting Black Boys 44:48 — Coming In Hot: Kandi + Todd’s Divorce Drama 53:08 — Cuffed 2 the Culture: Nia Long, RHOSLC, Black Women-Owned Brands & More Follow us @Cuffed2theCulture on Instagram and TikTok, and @Cuffed2Culture on Twitter/X.

  Cuffed 2… Fat Joe’s N-Word Debate, Papoose’s Remy Ma Diss & Deiondra + Jacquees’ Co-Parenting Wars

  Sep 14, 202659 min

  Fat Joe says growing up in hip-hop gives him a pass to use the N-word, but Marc Lamont Hill says proximity to Black culture doesn’t make you Black. Papoose dropped a diss track aimed at Remy Ma, leaving Rae and Nai yapping about if telling your side of the break-up story can start looking a lot like not moving on. And between Deiondra Sanders and Jacquees, Cardi B and Offset, and Chingy’s son speaking out, the co-parenting conversations are getting complicated. Rae and Nai kick it off with getting real about turning 30 and the weird space between being grateful for the life you have while still longing for more, then come in HOT: who gets access to Black culture, is financial support is enough to make someone an active parent, and what Europe does better than America vs. America definitely does better than Europe. 00:00 — Let’s Get Real, Sis: Turning 30 04:25 — Let’s Get Real, Sis: Gratitude, Longing & Wanting More 09:32 — Coming In Hot: Fat Joe & the N-Word Debate 19:11 — Coming In Hot: Papoose Diss Track, Remy Ma & Claressa Shields 30:11 — Coming In Hot: Co-Parenting Challenges - Deiondra & Jacquees, Cardi & Offset, Chingy & son Isaiah 51:36 — Cuffed 2 the Culture: Europe vs. America Follow us @Cuffed2theCulture on Instagram and TikTok, and @Cuffed2Culture on Twitter/X.
